Here’s the kicker: pure water is almost a marketing lie. Sorry to break it to you. In science, pure water is H₂O and only H₂O. No minerals, no bacteria, no nothing.
But out in the real world? “Pure water” on a bottle usually just means it’s been filtered a bit. It might still have calcium, magnesium, or even a whisper of chlorine. It’s clean, but not chemically perfect. Think of it as "good enough" water.
Distilled water, on the other hand, is a whole different beast. It’s been boiled into steam and then cooled back into liquid. That process strips away everything. Minerals? Gone. Bacteria? Dead. Your soul? Probably not, but it feels that empty.
